Lodgers’ Tax: Arts and Culture

Durango’s arts and culture scene is growing stronger, thanks to the support of the Lodgers' Tax. Funding from the tax has brought new murals and sculptures to public spaces, supported events like the Cowboy Poetry Gathering, and provided financial backing for local artists, non-profits, and businesses. It’s not just about adding visual appeal—this tax is driving professional training, economic development, and creative opportunities that weren’t available before. The result is a thriving cultural community that enriches the city and supports its long-term growth. By Sadie Smith.
